Patrol Rd, Woodside

There are certain streets that people turn up on 84 that make me go "Oooh, people actually get to LIVE there." And then there are streets like Patrol Road, that make THOSE people have similar reactions to what I just had. That's right, Patrol Road is so secluded that it actually gets its own, small access road (Entrance Way) in order to get here.

It's not completely engulfed in the Santa Cruz Mountains; far from it. Less than ten minutes will get you to downtown Woodside, a small but cute stretch of ritzy country town, and another ten will get you to interstate 280. But that is not why people choose to live here. This is a place where people can buy a lot and then build upon it, to build massive, hillside Northern California mansions complete with pools, athletic courts, and whatever else they may desire.

And with redwood scenery all around, there really is no better backdrop for a dream home.
